One gets the sense of a rough framework that is completed differently with each performance—like Ehnahre could never play the same song twice. It would be foolish to assume that this style of music has no place, but by its very deconstructive nature, it must be sparingly unleashed.

I am thankful for the return of passionate yet coherent technical death metal—a balance attempted by few and achieved by fewer. Atheist have always been bar-setters, and “Jupiter” is yet another defining chapter in their evolution.
Killing The Dream from Sacramento are hosting a live fan chat on yowie.com today (Nov. 23) at 6pm PT/9pm EST to promote their new record, “Lucky Me”, out on Deathwish Inc.!
Originally broadcast 2010Nov12, Samoth called in live to ‘Mind Over Metal’ to talk about his new band, The Wretched End. We touch on similarities and differences with his more well-known projects, Zyklon and Emperor, as well as the recent popularity of black metal in modern media and society at large. I also bring up Skjold Church pretty ham-handedly, so be sure to listen for that delightfulness.

With mixed emotions on initial spins, I decided to give “The Rise of the Heraldic Beasts” a shot while test-running my recent NES purchase of Rampart ($4 CIB!), just so I could really get medieval on this album.

Despite a weak start, the second half of “Stoned” makes it all worthwhile. A fun, enjoyable album for fans of doom, whether it’s traditional or of the stoner variety.
Brad Barratt interviews Mike Williams via email, who answers questions about both EyeHateGod and Arson Anthem. It ends with a great line about AA: “If you like fast, pissed and raw aggressive HC, check us out, don’t worry about who is in the band….”
Read for the original post from a while back, plus a recent comment from Burke Shelley.
Oh yeah, not only is HULL opening for PENTAGRAM, but both bands should have new albums in 2011. Thanks to Earsplit and MetalSucks for the two-pronged update!
Drummer Jörg Michael has cancer, but the band will continue the first leg of their tour in support of Helloween.
